1 Before install AIDE

2 Install AIDE

3 Create database

Create database with aideinit which is wrapper script for "aide –init". The aideinit will create aide.db.new and copy to aide.db.

/var/lib/aide/aide.db.new
/var/lib/aide/aide.db

Unlike AIDE in other distribution, the configuration file is not /etc/aide.conf but the following file. Because it does not have /etc/aide.conf, running aide directly will cause
error. /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/* are the configuration files for various packages.
